We've had bird feeders in our front yard for a few years, but it seems the birds are just now getting comfortable enough to visit & enjoy the constant stream of food. With summer
finally here, we've really noticed an abundance of birds visiting, including a few beautifully colorful cuties (sorry, probably not the preferred nomenclature):
This blue fella appears to be a
Lazuli Bunting, although the blurry picture & lack of a rear view make it difficult to be certain. My dear ornithologist
brother, what's your educated guess?
This fiery bird appears to be a
Western Tanager. I adore the fabulously bright red & yellow.
[Please excuse the poor zoom - they were, after all, taken from a living room window with small zoom camera]
We've also been privy to a visit from
this fantastically lemon-yellow bird, but they're too quick for us to grab a pic.
